I had great beer which I can't remember the name and a shot of sang de dragon (whisky, vodka, microwaved with tabasco) for the first time. $16 beer pitchers available - you better get one to quench that dragon heat. There's a terrasse in the back, a sofa section inside and two coin-operated pool tables. Nice variety of setting. PS: I've been told by the locals to be watchful of the dreadful waitress during daytime. Fortunately, it seems her shift ends when the sun goes down ;)

Despite saying about a week ago in a review about not usually being able to write reviews for…read morebreweries not in the United States here we are writing a review for a brewery not in the United States. Lol! I have had Unibroue on more than one occasion and both times I was highly impressed with their beer. A beer that I may very well be able to say could be a new favorite as long as I can maintain getting it often there Blanche de Chambly. This is a blanche style witbierand after reading up on it is one of the original white ales that date back to the Middle Ages. I have really enjoyed the few that I have had as the blanche witbiers are just not that common in the United States. I have to say the brewery I wrote about a week ago also involved a blanche beer for Meteor Brewing. Although I loved their blanche too without going to France can be a challenge to find but I have seen Unibroue more often as a guest tap in the United States. Flavor highlights with this beer is a light, clean fruitiness which I found to be so very enjoyable. Another beer I had was a stout of theirs called the 30 Anniversaire. This beer I found highly enjoyable as well and as the name implies it is to celebrate 30 years and a thank you to customers. This Belgian style stout has a roasty, toasty and caramel flavor features and with all that combined makes for a delightful maple aroma. I have to say Unibroue really knows what they are doing with their beer and have gotten the belief getting any of their beers will knock your socks off!

For anyone that wants to enjoy this delicious nectar, simply go to their restaurant in Chambly, Fourquette Fourchette! Unibroue is expanding all the time, and apparently, they had issues with tours and beer contamination - thank God they had their priorities in order! Yep, no more tours - small price to pay for badass beer, though! This never prevented drive-by picture taking, though! Hahah. All kidding aside, this place makes incredible beer, and deserves special attention, tours or not. Make this a part of your Montréal visit and you shall not be disappointed!

Came on a Saturday night and it was during the peak dining time. Had to negotiate (push) to find a…read moreseat for three but to be fair the hostess was doing her best to accommodate us during a very busy time. We ended up with a great seat and our server sensed our lack of speaking French so quickly pivoted to English. When realized we are vegetarian she mentioned that the veggie patty could be substituted to different meat dishes so I got the tacos and shared a couple pizzas. Food was super good! I would suggest avoiding the parking lot during busy periods as we had to turn around and park on the street but other than that a great time.

We tried to go to the Sutton Brewery but they were packed, so ended up at Dunham again. Again, the waitress was rude, non-knowledgeable and stand-offish. You have to get your own water and it took forever to get our food. The poutine was so so and again, luke warm and the cheese never melted. Again, the beer is good but that's about it. The service and the food are meh and it's WAY WAY overpriced. Our 3 piece family got 2 beers, a veggie burger and two poutines....oh and an apple juice...and with tip it was over $100 Canadian. Offensive. We will remember next time and not return again even if everything else is full. Thumbs DOWN!

There is a food truck on store serving up some tasty snacks and you can even bring your own picnic. You just can't bring in outside drinks because that how La Ferme makes their money, selling drinks. Unlike what the previous reviewer mentioned, they do offer a variety of nonalcoholic beverages including kombucha, canned mocktails and juice. There are numerous picnic tables, with sun umbrellas, set up and lots of space to put a picnic blanket down or throw a freebie and dogs are welcome. La Ferme is a great spot to meet up with friends to hangout or to bring the family to enjoy a sunny day.

Farnham was absolutely amazing place to stop by, kind of off the beaten path, obviously frequented…read moreby local crowd and some explorers like us. We visited after climbing the hill of Mont Saint-Gregoire and we felt like we deserve all the brew available in the pub. There is a spacious outdoor terrace, big portion of it is covered and one can safely consume a pint during rainy summer day or hide from stronger sun. The pub offers food, the menu is OK, but don't expect anything else than typical pub food with no real healthy options. Regardless we came for the beers and managed to try most of them. First you can get a taster of the eight beers available on tap. Then you can buy variety of cans for experiments at home, which we did as to celebrate Canada Day in style. Unfortunately my favorite Hazy Camper IPA was not available that day. Farnham also offers few amazing hard seltzers that are worthy trying. The staff is super nice, but a little bit slow. Great brew pub to visit if you are in the area!

Even those with more casual interest in beer probably know that DDC makes really great drinks. And yep, they were excellent. I wasn't there to do a long session, so I got a couple tasters, one including Peche Mortal and the other a NEIPA. Two very different styles and both extremely well done. Beyond that, the space had a very old-fashioned look. Really nice wooden fixtures and a very warm, welcoming vibe. The server was also attentive and friendly, but also knew when to let people sit back and enjoy their drinks. You probably don't need me to tell you, but yes, you should go.

When planning my brother's bachelor party weekend in Montreal, I kept him out of the major event…read moreplanning but asked if there were any high-level things he wanted to hit while we were there. He expressed interest in hitting up some breweries, so I did some research and compiled a few we could potentially visit. Brasserie Dieu du Ciel was one of them, and it just so happened we were in its vicinity after our Mile End food tour concluded. That being said, we made our way over. While I am not a beer person myself, I'll have a round or two if I'm with a group, and can appreciate a good brewery. My first impression of Dieu du Ciel was just that - the vibes were on walking in. The space is pretty large - kinda separated into semi- compartmentalized spaces with tables throughout. There's not much decor, but medium-toned woods throughout which gave it a sort of upscale feel. They offer a food menu, but we were just here for drinks. They have a really wide selection of beer - again, I'm no connoisseur, but I could tell that the selection was way more than other breweries I've been to. I ended up getting a cider for the first round and a stout for my second round - both very good. Service was great, and overall we enjoyed our time at Dieu du Ciel. Their selection and comfortable setting made it a standout brewery for me out of the ones I've visited in Montreal - I wouldn't hesitate to return.
